It’s been awhile since I last blogged. Since then, I’ve transitioned over into a new decade of age (yep, I turned 30 last week! ugh!), we had our first baby shower with friends of ours in Nashville while we were visiting, and Amy just keeps getting… bigger. I’m finding that […]

TobyMac’s Advice for New Parents
John DiBiase: Any advice for new parents? TobyMac: Are you a new parent? John: Almost… October. TobyMac: Really?! Awesome, man!! John: Yeah… I’m scared out of my mind! TobyMac: It’s amazing, dude! Y’know, I only have two regrets that have stuck with me my whole life. One is: […]
“The Doppelganger Experiment” by Michael Weaver
So, how exactly do you explain death to a 3-year old? If you have an answer, please let me know. Recently, I could not come up with an answer myself, so I chose to bypass the issue. Let me explain… My daughter has, or had, a pet hamster named Eleanor (a […]
“Honesty is the Best Policy?” by John DiBiase
Among my many faults is the tendency to wear my heart of my sleeve… of every piece of clothing I own. On the eve of Easter, we visited Amy’s family as part of the traditional sharing of the holidays between our respective families. This also happened to be the first […]
“Encouragement from Beside the Dentist Chair” by John DiBiase
I’m a bit new to the concept of frequent blogging, but as I’m venturing into these previously personally uncharted waters of pending parenthood, I’m finding there’s plenty to ponder and reflect on when it comes to this topic. (And while Amy continues to fall victim to nausea and an intense […]

If I might be completely honest, if you were to ask me if I would like to have children or would like to continue as just a duo with Amy for now (or trio if you count our darling guinea pig – and resident glutton – Indy), I would have […]
“It’s His Fault!” by John DiBiase
Tonight was my first experience accompanying my wife… maternity clothes shopping! What’s kind of funny to note is, I was supposed to be her sole accompaniment for this task. Luckily for both of us, another couple was able to join us, so the ladies went off on a quest to find […]
“Sharing of Old” by John DiBiase
Oftentimes after an evening consisting of hours straight spent just working, I’ll indulge myself in a snack (usually a toasted “everything” bagel 🙂 ) and unwind to a classic cartoon I grew up with as a child (a ritual I tend to also do when I have lunch home alone too). Recently, […]
“Raising LittleJesusFreaks” by John DiBiase
It’s funny to think that this time last year, I never would have dreamed to be writing a blog like this, let alone launching a website like this! Yup, that’s right… I’m gonna be a Dad! Just writing that kind of sends a chill down my spine, but at the […]
